Just wanted to see if we had any other OCC students here!! Just started my pre-req's on Monday!

AZhiker-Thank you so much for all the help. I actually have that packet, I guess I just need to read it a little more! So don't apply until all pre-reqs are done. Got it. Thanks again!! Paula

Can anyone walk me through the process of applying for the program? I contacted the woman I was suppossed to Maria, but she never responded. I was accepted into the school but have no idea how to apply for the nur program. Thanks!

i'm taking bio 132 in the summer and also psych. :monkeydance: i should be studying for my muscle exam right now but wanted to take a little break! :monkeydance:

Kathy-That is horrible but I believe it. OCC is really annoying me with their "selection" process. Koolaid is right, failing the NLN would have been better! So annoying! :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire

koolaid-i totally agree with you. the process for the student selection seems horrible! i know people who did worse then me on the nln and got into the program??? why is that!!? as far as the high risk students..i had no idea they set aside that many...

:balloons: congrats dex. that's great news! :balloons: i didn't get in, i am wait-listed at number 10. i did above average on the nln and my gpa is fine, i guess there was something else they wanted that i didn't have! :angryfire good luck to a...

Thank you so much for the info! Best of luck to you.

Does anyone know what the wait list is like at this school? Thanks!

you are not the only one. i started noticing it recently too! although, mine isn't really between by thighs, well maybe my lower thighs, it's kinda right around my knees, or a little higher. i know my scrub pants are too long for me and i'm always hi...

i hated the nln and thought i bombed but when i went to have my scores looked at by the nursing dept they said, great you "cut the mustard" :rotfl: thought that was pretty funny!! but i guess you just look under your ad score under verbal at the rig...

does anyone know of a good website for bones? possibly even one that has some good flashcards? i'm doing the coloring book but always love a good flashcard!:chuckle :) thanks! nevermind, i just went to the first page of the thread and found some...

i love using flashcards. the whole point is that is forces you to sit down, read the information and then write it down. by all those steps are done, i've usually ingested some of the info i need. plus, they're so small that i bring them everywhere a...

i find the stuff we are doing now to be so boring and difficult! atp, epithelium, diffussion. i have my lab test next friday and am so scared. identifying the different epitheliums and what their functions are and where they're found? it's too much...

we're still on epithelium in lab and on diffusion and stuff in lecture. off to make flashcards! have i mentioned i'm scared? :)

hi all. i got my nln scores today and have no idea how to read them! can anyone help me with this? what score(s) should i be looking at? thanks so much!!!

Good Luck! I just took the NLN today and bombed it. TIME is so important on this test! Study your roots, prefixes and suffixes too! VERY disappointed with how horrible I did. Best of luck to you. I"m sure you will do great!!

thanks dex. i will be a physical therapist aide. so helping the patients with their physical therapy and sometimes doing phones. should be interesting! i have my first clinical tomorrow for the cna class at samland's and i am dreading it!! i hope it ...

my school requires it so i'm in the process right now. first clinical is tomorrow! i'm scared! :uhoh21: good luck!! like some said, i think it's a good idea. i'm just scared that it will lead me away from nursing. better to know now than later i gu...
